Safe shopping for all at the Edmonds Museum Garden Market - My Edmonds News
Every day people ask me, "Why should I shop at the Farmer's Market, when I can just go to grocery store?" It is a reasonable question, which has probably bounced though the minds of most of us. Well, allow me to take a moment of your time to explain why I believe it is truly safer to purchase your produce and more at the Edmonds Museum Garden or Summer Markets.
